Let's Manage The Tower

It was two days since I left the village and entered the forest.

She was following Ethena's instructions, but she didn't know where she was headed.

Kouhi and Mitsuki seem to know which direction the village is located, but they don't even know the location of the village anymore.

"Niisama, are you okay?

Essena looked worried as she followed the examiner perfectly.

"Oh, I'm fine physically. I don't know where I'm going, so I'm just worried."

"... I'm sorry."

Esena leaned down with a sinking look on her face.

Actually, Essena doesn't know why, but she felt something was waiting for her.

She said she might know if she got a little closer, but if she didn't, she was in a hurry.

Essena fell down and shook her hands in a hurry.

"No, no, no. Essena's not bad at all. I can't be more worried about this."

It was an exam aid that made me sad when I said it myself, but I wasn't generally wrong.

Even though he is a living god, he wonders what it is like to be worried just by wandering through the forest.

Anyway, the feeling around here still seemed to drag the previous one.

There are stories about how the human god is moving through the woods on his own feet, but he dares to ignore it.

I tried to calm down Essena, but there was a rescue boat coming in from another place.

Mitsuki was walking a short time ago.

"Essena, stop blaming yourself. Looks like it's not just your lack of power."

"Did you find anything?

Looking ahead, Mitsuki said so, and the examiner leaned his neck.

I felt something in Mitsuki's way.

"Yes, but perhaps it's only natural.... it looks like he's been in the junction for a while."

"Boundary?!

I was surprised when I didn't notice the exam aid at all.

I was confident in the magical field through the production of magical instruments on the boulder, but I didn't play any role at all.

Looking at the facial expression of the examiner, Kouchi supplemented it while looking around.

"Even though this is the end of the world, it is not created by magical instruments or magical formations like Kaiseki-sama. They use naturally occurring objects, such as trees, rocks and river streams, to blend in."

"Of course, there are magical things in it."

Following Kouhi's explanation, Mitsuki added more.

In short, unlike the boundaries created by magical formations and magical objects, we are placing natural objects around this area to make it easier to get lost and lose sight of our goals.

Of course, not only that, but also magical boundaries have been created, making it more difficult to understand.

Natural arrangements and magical objects complement each other, creating a more sophisticated bond.

"In this kind of union, naturally occurring things become stronger over time, so it's natural that Essena is less aware of what's going on."

"Esena is just born compared to the trees around here. No matter how long ago you knew about the world tree, that's all."

While following Kouchi's words even further, Mitsuki was comforted as she pounded on Essena's head.

"Even if we know we have boundaries, we don't know what the whole thing looks like."

Mitsuki was surprised at the words he continued to use.

"Huh?! You two don't know the whole story?

It was not within the scope of the assessment.

Because it's about the two of us, I thought we were talking now that we fully understand each other.

Kouhi answered with an apologetic expression to such an examination.

"All I know is around here. If you succeed, the whole forest could be the whole border."

"That's right. I only thought there was one place in this vast area that could do this."

Mitsuki smiled and looked at the study aid.

If you say so much to Shizukuishi, I can think of what it is to study.

The assistant who turned his gaze toward Essena stroked her head again as she regained her vitality.

"Well, let's stop deciding. If we move on, we'll know the answer."

In his words, Kouhi and Mitsuki nodded and went further.

About three hours after I realized the existence of the boundary, there was a little event.

Kouhi and Mitsuki did not suddenly consolidate the surroundings, but were greeted politely by several elves.

Did you know from the beginning that there was no hostility? Nana didn't react either.

I knew they existed, but I dared to ignore them.

Anyway, the elves who came to pick up the examiners suddenly lowered their heads and said:

"Mr. Kowske, are you sure you're with us?

After they appeared, the examiner, who somehow had a hunch, nodded without hiding it.

"Yes, it's not wrong."

When Kaisuke said so, the slightly tingling air in time for the elves weakened.

They know that elf hunting is taking place in this forest.

Even though the slightly stiff air weakened, it did not appear to have completely resolved the alarm.

Understanding the reasons for their attitude, the examiners decided to pose as winds that they did not particularly care about.

One of the elves went on to wonder if he was discerning the thoughts of such an assistant.

"I think the destination is the same, but can you come with me? There are people in our village who want you."

"Yes, I understand."

The examiner nodded at the elf's words.

The elves who saw it began to go back the way they had just come.

That was the same direction that the examiners were heading.

Apparently, there's a village of elves ahead.

Incidentally, when the elves found out they were approaching, Essena disappeared.

I don't know what kind of criteria she has, but she seems to be deciding who to show up to.

For the time being, I felt like I was only showing up to the tower administrator.

And then a few of the elves in the tower.

The examiners were moving in such a way that the elves sandwiched back and forth.

The only thing I haven't seen before is that I'm still vigilant about the examiners.

Since Kouhi and Mitsuki are walking behind each other, they should be called each other.

Regardless of the conversation on the other side, after walking about an hour from where I met the elves, I saw something like a settlement.

It's still because of the elves living in the woods that it feels somewhat similar to the elf settlements in the tower.

With such a reflection, the party reached the entrance to the settlement.

It was planned from the beginning, but I was able to enter the settlement without rubbing it at the entrance.

The aides who entered the village were taken by the guide elves to the front of a building.

It was the biggest building I've ever seen.

"This way, someone is waiting for you."

One of the conductors said so and rang something like a ring bell on the building.

Then a voice came from inside, telling him that Elf, the guide, had brought the examiners with him.

I wonder if they were well communicated here, or if they could quickly enter the building.

Besides, I'm going to say goodbye to the Elves who lead us here.

The conductors' elves showed a hesitant expression for a moment, but they were blocked by the person who welcomed them and said nothing more.

And finally, I was going to meet the people who had welcomed the examiners.
